It's weird because people keep using the phrase 'only good podcast' but no one is talking about BirdNote, the podcast that updates every single day with two minutes of bird facts. I mean, Behind the Bastards is obviously extremely good, but Robert has never dedicated a portion of the episode to describing a dove sunning itself in a garden, and I don't think there's ever been any meaningful integration of birdsong. It's always been the show's major flaw, but it felt rude to bring it up.

rotinaj posted:I am too normie and too high to be able to cut through all the layers of irony and recursive humor surrounding that entire podcast zone and understand what the gently caress the deal is with cum town vs red scare vs chapo trap house WYE/Even More News really doesn’t do anything whatsoever to differentiate from one another and they are extremely cross-referential to the point where I basically can only keep which is which straight when Robert is talking. Also for a few months it literally was not worth listening to both shows because it would just be the same people discussing the same topics. They’ve gotten better about it and guests help to break it up. Chapo Trap House are a political and media discussion podcast, they critique and make fun of political and media touchstones. Blowback is the spin off by the original producer of Chapo Trap House and is more informative and genuinely of the highest production quality. Cum Town is a very raunchy and disrespectful comedy podcast hosted by Nick Mullen, who used to live with two members of Chapo and is BFFs with two other members of Chapo. Adam Friedland is one of the two co-hosts, and he and Stavros go on Chapo a couple times a year because these people are all just close friends who live in the same city. Red Scare FUCKEN SUCKS and I literally have never met nor even heard of someone listening to it because they enjoy it. It’s like a purely irony-pill level show that just kind of blows rear end. It does feel like an impenetrable wall of parasocial relationships but it’s easy to parse if you just take a step back.

All of those podcasts except Blowback are free with additional Patreon options, exactly the same as Even More News. Does WYE have a Patreon or does it just have the same production company as EMN?

Yeah, I've never listened to Chapo or Cum Town or any of those and Blowback was still great. I mean, it's a straightforward limited-series history of the Iraq War. I guess one of the hosts of Blowback is on Chapo as far as I know but I promise, you can even be uncertain of that, as I am, and still enjoy Blowback. Looking forward to their new season on the Cuban Missile Crisis, too.

It’s always weird to hear complaints about the ads as someone listening from outside the US because all the ads I get are for other iHeart shows. I never get any of those sweet products and services* Robert wants me to have. Not even the Raytheon Knife Missile.  *Would a podcast be considered a “service”?

This was me for like two years, I thought it was a running joke that there were no products or services but just podcast ads. Now they're running a Safe Auto ad which is the worst thing on Earth and I can't listen to the podcast unless I'm in a position to skip it, otherwise I'll die. And today there was a dick pill ad so Robert's finally arrived as a podcaster.

Looking forward to their new season on the Cuban Missile Crisis, too. Brendan James was the original producer of Chapo but the products are very distinct. Chapo at it's core is a conversational podcast about current events where the hosts joke about and react to the news that they feel like talking about. Blowback is a prescripted and researched deep dive into the Iraq war that wants to inform and entertain on a specific topic. I thought it was pretty compelling and I'm pretty excited to hear what they do with Cuba, especially given that they've promised to have so many people who were there for it all.

I don’t know if it’s that I have turned off targeted ads, but I basically only get podcasts, typically other iheart or Robert-adjacent podcasts. I only listened to an episode of two of blowback and was liking it, but anytime I’ve tried listening to chapo stuff, it just becomes this wall of irony and jokes that can read as straight faced and it just gets exhausting. As does engaging with chapo fans. I’ll go back and listen to more of Blowback, especially as I get into my workweek next week. Thanks for the recs to keep going, y’all.

I would challenge anyone ITT who uses “irony” to try and explain away what you don’t like about certain podcasts to actually explain what you think that word means or how it applies. There’s this weird tendency on the left, especially among Biden-style progressives, to stylize or sensationalize anyone who uses comedy as “ironic” or “irony-poisoned” in a way to delegitimize the socialist ideas that serve as the undercurrent. The right/conservatives don’t give a gently caress about “irony-poisoning” it’s exclusively the perview of leftist infighting, something Warren-stans and K-Hive and Biden Boosters like to throw at anyone whose more radical or progressive than they are. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, “ironic” about Chapo. They are sincere in their position, they present their takes as plainly as can be, they believe in what they are saying, and using “irony” in this incredibly popularized-but-still-incorrect way only works to try and paint their ideas as jokes or insincere. Employing humor as a vehicle to communicate your ideas doesn’t mean you don’t really believe in them. Another way of thinking about it: How is Chapo Trap House “ironic” in any way that Cody and Robert aren’t? Wouldn’t you categorize all of Robert’s jokes about “the fine products at Raytheon” or the glib way he laughs off history’s greatest horror or Cody’s... I mean if you hate “Irony” than how can you stand to watch even one second of Even More News? Not trying to flame anyone or start a fight, I just think people throw that word around because they read it online and assume it’s part of the discourse now but I feel like no one ever stops to consider what they are saying when they say it.

Ok, forget the dreaded i-word, and whatever this strawman argument of me not being progressive enough to appreciate Chapo, or whatever. I'll just reiterate this point rotinaj posted:it just gets exhausting. As does engaging with chapo fans. I don't begrudge the Chapo guys their viewpoints, and typically agree with them. But it always seems like anytime I try to listen to Chapo episodes, or chat about Chapo with other people, it winds up like this. I'm not even saying that I am mad the podcast exists or anything, but even casually dipping into Chapo, it seems, requires me to write a three paragraph essay explaining the usage of Irony in Leftist Comedy or whatever the gently caress this is.

I stopped listening to Behind the Bastards because I was just mentally unwilling to keep exploring terrible people, so I guess I can relate to finding content exhausting or to be a drain in your energy. I find Chapo’s sense of humor and their opinions to make me feel less insane for wanting things like M4A or to not get bullied into voting for Biden, so they are, to me, the opposite of exhausting, they are rejuvenating. However I honestly have no idea where one would even go to discuss podcasts with their fans besides the something awful podcast forums, and the Chapo thread here is pretty chill... Unless you mean talking to people in the comments of their SoundCloud or in the patreon discord or whatever, in which case why would you be posting in such a place if you yourself weren’t also a fan?

At its core Chapo is an entertainment product, and if it doesn't entertain you then there's no reason to spend time listening to it. Same with BtB or any of the other podcasts people have mentioned. Monday's Chapo had a deep dive long read of Thomas Friedman that ripped him to shreds, but after it was over Thomas Friedman was still wealthier than I'll ever be, and more influential amongst people who actually wield power than I'll ever be, and generally positioned exactly in the same place he's been positioned my entire adult life, as a thought leader for people who matter. It's nice to just roll around in how wrong and un-insightful and pig headedly dumb he is, but it doesn't matter really other than I enjoyed it and it made me laugh and smile. I listen to BtB for generally the same reason, it's just nice to hear people who deserve to get poo poo on actually get poo poo on, and it's nice when people don't have to pretend to respect lovely people just on the basis of their credentials or their legacy or whatever else. People who think podcasts are praxis are idiots, just like people who think posting is praxis are idiots. There are other things to get out and do if you want to change the world or try to change the world. Online fans generally suck and nobody needs to feel the need to justify why they find an entertainment product compelling or not compelling.
